�Get married blondie.�  His eyes just stayed fixed on us. 
�No, for real.�  I lifted my hand and Howie pointed to the ring.  Nick�s eyes closed and we heard a big thud.

All girls sat there, just looking at me.  They questions they could have made me uneasy.  And for one brief moment, I was scared me and him had made a mistake.  But love came into my mind.  And I know I could have not made a mistake.
�Why?� Terri asked me.
�Love Terri.  We love each other.  It was the next step to take.�
�But you guys always fight!  This won�t make it any different.�
�You�re right.  But through the fights and the hatred, we knew we belonged together.  Knew we were going to get married.�
�And you think it�s alright for you to just up and leave like that?  To put yourself all over the paper?� Shannon asked.  Now I was upset.  This was my life, our life. �
�You know, as my friends, I thought you could be at least be fuckin� happy for.  But no, you come in, getting all fuckin� pissed off.  It�s my life and I will fuckin� do as I wish.  The fans have power over my career, but not our life.  I�m over 18.  So, just say the fuck out!  And believe me, until your an learn to respect that, don�t talk to me.�  I stormed out the room, annoyed that they would look down on me in such a fashion.  It was my life!
�Theresa, wait.�  I stopped and turned around.  Jennifer came running towards me and hugged me.  �Congrats!  I can�t believe you did it.  I always thought you two would tie the knot first.�
�Thanks girl.�  I hugged her back.

�Why Vegas?� Kevin asked Howie.
�Because I wanted to marry her.  She�s everything I ever wanted.�
�I understand that, but why now?�
�Why not now?  Kevin, we have been in the public eye for so long.  The fans know we love these girls.  Know we�re gonna get married.  You lost your love once, and yet found another.  When I broke up with her, I realized I�d love her no matter what.  And I needed her in my life.  There�s nothing you can say, nothing you can do, that�s going to make me regret that.  Now, later on down the line, we can, of course, have the huge wedding.  I�d like for all you guys to be in it.�  The guys smiled and all was forgiven.

Being married and just living together was something different.  And it bugged me to know I entered into this marriage with a big lie.  And I had to tell Howie.
�You can�t, you do realize that?�
�I have to.  If you were in my shoes, you would feel the same way.�
�Maybe.  Theresa, please don�t tell him.  He�ll never talk to me again.�
�You know that won�t happen.  Don�t even think it.�  I sighed and sat down next to my brother.  He pulled me against him and I laid my head on his shoulder.  I heard the front door open and knew he was home.
�Resa, baby?�  I got up and gave him a kiss.  �Miss me?�
�Always do.  Howie, we have to talk.�  My brother stood up and Howie�s eyes flew to him.  �Before you think anything, let me explain.  He�s my brother.�  Howie�s eyes opened wide and he kept glancing between the two of us.  �It�s a rather long story.  And I never meant to keep it.�  He sat down and I began the long tale.

�Ladies, again, you�re back, how nice for you to come back to TRL.�  We smiled at Carson and thanked him.  �So, �Let Dogs Lie� is racing up the chart, on it�s way to number one and you guys just did the video, what that way?�
�Why in leather and all like, evil?� I asked, laughing.
�Yeah, that�s it.�
�Cause everyone lies in this world.  Big, small, whatever the case, someone is lying.  Now we all been told that lies are bad, so why not make it look evil in a sense,� I said, adding in a shrug.
�Did you all have fun?�
�Damn, it was great!  It�s not that long of a song, but with all the riffs and solo�s we threw in there, it made it quite long and it�s so awesome,� Terri said.
�And this is the first time being shown, right?�
�Yeah, the first time!  You fans get to see it first, right here!� Shannon said.  Carson just smiled and nodded his head.
�Now, there�s this rumor that�s going about one of you young ladies.  About someone getting married.�  I could my stomach shift and I just smiled.
�Where in the world did you hear that from?� I asked.
�The tabloids of course.  Have all of the stars rumors.�  I rolled my eyes.
�Now, we�re way to busy just to get up and get married.  No time.  We want to spend time with our husbands, just not this quick hi and bye stuff.� I said.
�That�s great.  So, you guys planning on getting married?�
�Later on down the road of course,� Megan said.
�Very cool.  Well, on to the video.  Here�s Trinity with �Let Dogs Lie�.�

I was scared out of my wits.  By now Meshelle had seen the show and I was waiting for her to either pound on my door and just call me up.  She hadn�t known and that was rather good.  But how the fuckin� tabloid found out, I have no idea.  I sighed and heard the banging on the door.  I opened it slowly and smiled at her.  She glared at me and I told her to come in.
�I�m not upset, there�s no reason to be.  Unless of course you lied to Carson.�  I smiled and shook my head.
�No, not quite.�
�Theresa, please tell me you didn�t get married?�
�Well, it�s so hard to explain that.�
�Were you drunk?�
�No.�
�High?�
�Not on that bad shit.  Just high on life.�
�So, you did it why?�
�Because he�s the love of my life and I wanted to.�  She groaned and fell down on my couch.
�And just how long do you suppose to keep this under wraps?�
�As long as I can.�
�That�s going to be fuckin� impossible.  The press ain�t that damn stupid.�
�Can�t you just be happy for me girl?� I asked, sitting down next to her.  She glanced at me and smiled.
�I am.  Very happy.�  She gave me a hug and bid me goodbye.
